[jawsscripts] Re: How might I code up a table to appear in virtual viewer?

Hi What does the following do:
o.navigate("about:blank")

Thanks.

Jim

Catch the gratitude attitude.

In cases like these, I've always  simply created an HTML document
object, either through FSO or InternetExplorer.application.

For the latter, something like the following:
var object o, object ODoc
let o = createObject("internetExplorer.application")
let oDoc = o.document
o.navigate("about:blank")
ODoc.write("whateverYouWantHere, would be your HTML in this instance")

Whenever you wish to show it to the user:
let o.visible = 1


FSO works, too, but I have seen particularly stringent permissions get
in the way of WScript use.
